To update liabilities and some key figures (summarized in an FI summary) from one or more FI-AR systems with release mySAP ERP 2004 to SAP Credit Management , you have to make the following settings.
However, you currently integrate FI-AR and SAP Credit Management via implementations of Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) and via some IMG activities of the original Credit Management (FI-AR-CR).
Prerequisites
● In order to use the update options specified, you must also integrate your FI-AR system(s) with SAP Credit Management using XI interfaces (see configuration step Connecting Accounts Receivable Accounting ERP 2004). You can execute these steps independently of one another and in any order. ● You have configured the business partner data for SAP Credit Management (see Providing Business Partner Data).
Note the differences in terminology between applications with different releases – from mySAP ERP 2005, the use of some terms from SAP Credit Management has changed. For more information, see Terminology Changes from mySAP ERP 2005.
